The IJIS Institute sponsors special domain-specific Leadership Forums and Technology Summits to focus on technology innovation and information sharing and safeguarding needs. These events are designed to provide practitioner executives and CIOs an opportunity to network with their counterparts, and industry to discuss specific challenges and needs in their practice area, to form potential strategies to overcome technology and system concerns, and to learn about technology and information sharing standards that can provide cost effective solutions.
